1954 WD45 when there is a load on the rear differential it growls rather loud, what should i be looking into to fix it? free rolling i dont hear it and reverse i dont really hear it but forward its too noisy,

thanks
 
sHan,tn -
Ive had the same question on my 52 WD. Folks I have talked to told it was normal and quit worrying. To me the gears sound "dry" but I have had no issues in 4 yrs.

Dumb luck perhaps. I defer to others for a much better qualified answer.
 
Pretty common with theses old tractor to make a lot of noise. If you want to look into it deeper jack up the rear end and put it in gear with the engine running and see if one side is louder then the other. Of course check all your fluid levers because if any one is low that will add to the noise
 
Has this developed, or has this been going on all along?
If it's not new- do you really have a WD rear end? They really moaned.
Chasing a noise can really be a fools errand. It could be anywhere. I know someone who tore the rear end of a tractor apart only to find a loose wheel weight!
Sorry about this one but I can't resist- how's the front differential ?!
 
its been doing since i got it.. a few days :)

also the front differential is fine, i dont hear any noise when i put it in 4 wheel drive... thanks
 
when your screaming down the road in high gear, back off on the throttle real quick, or push in the clutch... noise go away ? Bearings are still spinning... its gear mesh.
 

Could be that the pinion (Bearings) of that side need adjusted..(on the top, end of the Final-Drive)..
Would be best to slide the rear wheel out as far as possible, first..

Old.. it was a joke, Bob had said " Sorry about this one but I can't resist- how's the front differential ?!" as a joke and i replied back with the comment i said :)

sorry for the confusion,,,,,
